What is Printhead Refurbishing ? | ||||||||||
The most vital part of a Dot Matrix Printer (DMP) is its Printhead. The cost of a Printhead is almost one third of the cost of a new printer and it is the most sensitive part of your DMP. Printheads have a specific life and the life expectancy decreases because of various factors like faulty ribbons, bad paper quality, dusty atmosphere etc. | ||||||||||
Warranty on a Printer usually does not cover the Printhead. The only solution that is suggested for a faulty Printhead is replacement with a new Printhead ! | ||||||||||
Printhead Refurbishing is a process in which a faulty Printhead is stripped to its last component. All the components are cleaned in an Ultrasonic Cleaner with a cleaning agent. After the first inspection, all worn-out parts like pins and guides are replaced with new ones. Silver brazing & spot welding equipment's are used in this process. The head is reassembled back and the second level inspection is done. Now the pins are cutoff with a diamond cutoff wheel and the final finishing of the ends are done so that the ends are 100% burr free. | ||||||||||
